Chapter 1275: Without rewards, there is no motivation
Li Chengqian’s guess was not wrong.
Yesterday, Li Ke's actions completely angered the wolf mother.
Although the wolf mother did not explode in front of Li Ke, how could she not make Li Shimin suffer some pain afterwards?
She didn't talk to Li Shimin all night, and she helped Li Shimin wash and dress expressionlessly early in the morning.
Li Shimin really couldn't stand such an iceberg.
It was only after a lot of coaxing and coaxing that he got Empress Changsun's forgiveness in exchange for taking her on a trip.
As for letting Li Chengqian preside over the court meeting, he actually had no intention of scheming against him, and it was completely a helpless move.
When Eunuch Zhou came to urge him, he was expressing his sincerity that he could not leave. He just asked Li Chengqian to preside over the court meeting in front of Eunuch Zhou.
Of course, this could be one of the reasons why Empress Changsun forgave him.
After all, if Li Shimin lets Li Chengqian preside over the court meeting, to a certain extent, he is setting up a stage for Li Chengqian to declare his sovereignty.
As a mother, how could Queen Changsun not be happy about this?
However, this is pitiful for Li Chengqian.
He looked directly at Li Shimin and said: "I still have a lot of things to deal with on my own side. Now you ask me to supervise the country. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me..."
"What's your business?"
"The Wuyan Academy will be left to your brother Ke."
"The reform of the military system is almost completed, and you will leave the rest to Changsun Chong."
"As for the Ordnance Battalion, let alone that, it can still function even without you."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled face and said, "Tell me, what else do you have to do?"
"this……"
For a moment, Li Chengqian was also speechless.
He really didn't expect that his father would not leave him any escape route.
He actually said everything in one breath.
But can this stop Li Chengqian from being lazy?
He said shamelessly: "Yes, my father is right. The Wuhan Academy, the Ordnance Battalion, and the reform of the military system have nothing to do with me now."
"But your daughter-in-law will have to pay you soon." You have given birth to a grandson, can’t I take care of you every day now?”
"Furthermore, when you left that young master Qi and the mess behind him to me, how could I just ignore it?"
Old God Li Chengqian said seriously: "Even if you don't mention these, I am responsible for the logistics and food for the team going to Baekje now."
"Although they are winning consecutive battles, the soldiers have to eat, right? The muskets have to be loaded, right?"
Li Chengqian tilted his head and said: "So, you should leave the matter of supervising the country to Brother Ke. He has nothing serious to do now except falling in love and chasing his ex-wife."
After hearing what this kid said, Li Shimin's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Nonsense!"
"Since ancient times, when kings go out, the prince always supervises the country. If there is no prince, the eldest son supervises the country."
"When have you ever seen a prince overseeing the country while the prince was there?"
"Are you trying to make yourself miserable, or are you preparing to make your father miserable?"
This was what Li Chengqian said.
If it was time to replace the second person, Li Shimin would have already kicked him with a flying kick.
And the reason why Li Shimin didn't kick him was the same.
got used to.
He has long been used to this guy's attitude.
But even so, his face turned dark at the moment.
He said directly to Li Chengqian: "Or maybe, because I haven't educated you for a few days, your skin is itchy?"
"And speaking of this, I still remembered it."
"I haven't settled yesterday's account with you yet, have I?"
As he spoke, Li Shimin stepped towards Li Chengqian.
But this time, Li Shimin chose the place very skillfully.
There was a wall behind Li Chengqian, and there was nowhere to hide.
On his side, as long as he takes two steps forward, he can approach Li Chengqian.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian also secretly said, "Oh no!"
I have been fooled by the old man.
This guy has made it clear that he is ready to use both soft and hard tactics. If soft tactics fail, he will use force to coerce him.
Looking at Li Shimin approaching him step by step, Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva.
Immediately afterwards, he also showed a simple and honest smile and said: "Father, please don't be angry. I didn't say that I will not supervise the country..."
"hehe."
Li Shimin showed a look of recognition, and then stopped approaching him. .??.
"But, Father."
"If you let your subordinates supervise the country, you must give them some benefits."
Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and said, "Otherwise there would be no motivation..."
"Yo?"
"How dare you ask for benefits?"
Li Shimin also laughed angrily at this guy's appearance.
For a prince of the dynasty, all he talks about is rewards. Is this ridiculous?
Even if we take ten thousand steps back, after he abdicates, the world will belong to him, and doesn’t everything in the world also belong to him?
But this guy is good, he wants to take advantage of himself every now and then.
Does this guy think of himself as his secret vault?
At this moment, he also suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Li Chengqian with a fake smile and said: "Why don't you tell yourself what benefits you want, and I will consider it."
"Actually, I don't want much."
Li Chengqian seemed not to notice, and still said with a naive smile on his face: "Whatever house or land, no matter what, I can give you a Tongbao worth more than ten or two hundred thousand, just throw them all at me!"
But before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin's chestnut fell on his head.
Snapped……
"A house, right?"
Snapped……
"Territory, right?"
Snapped……
"Tongbao worth more than ten or twenty thousand, right?"
"I'll kick you to death, you unfilial son!"
Li Shimin chased and fought all the way, chasing Li Chengqian He ran a hundred steps away.
Looking at this guy's back, Li Shimin opened his mouth and roared: "If you don't supervise the country properly, I will beat your ass!"
After being beaten, Li Chengqian ran faster than a rabbit.
It wasn't until he ran into the imperial garden and came under a big tree that he stopped and looked back.
But before the guy could relax, he heard a sneer from above his head: "If you don't get beaten for a day, you seem to be itchy all over."
where is this place?
Royal Garden.
Li Shimin, the emperor's place of entertainment.
It can be said that there are countless masters in this place, both openly and secretly.
Unless they are willing, not even flies and mosquitoes can live in this place.
And to be able to laugh at Li Chengqian and still be alive in this place, there is only one Yuan Yuan in the entire Tang Dynasty, or in other words, in the entire world.
At this moment, hearing her ridicule, Li Chengqian also rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to get beaten either."
"But what can I do without getting beaten?"
"Since ancient times, how many princes have you seen successfully ascend the throne?"
He said without raising his head: "Your beloved brother, it's good to be alive now."
Hearing the words "brother Qing", Yuan Yuan's face turned red.
Immediately afterwards, she also turned over and came down from the tree, falling next to Li Chengqian.
Then she said: "Come out of the palace with me."
Li Chengqian asked with some confusion: "Why go?"
"Buying you a drink."
Yuan Yuan tilted her head and said, "If you wait a few more days, you might not even be able to get out of the gate of Ganlu Hall."
Indeed, judging from the current political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are cabinet ministers watching, the emperor can still be exhausted to death.
The job of supervising the country is almost the same as that of the emperor, the only difference is the name.
When Li Chengqian was supervising the country before, he was so tired that he almost vomited blood.
So when he heard Yuan Yuan's words, he sighed helplessly and said: "You have the intention..."
